Drew Barrymore & Justin Long Talk About Making Out While Stoned

On again/off again loves Drew Barrymore and Justin Long were "on" when they made the new romantic comedy Going the Distance. In the film they play a couple trying to make a long distance relationship work.


Now that they’ve wrapped, the former/current couple reflected on their first screen kiss.
“I just was lucky, for me, because he’s a good kisser,” Barrymore said. “So I was like, ‘Phew! Thank God.’ It’s the worst when you’re kissing someone who’s not a good kisser, and you’re trying to make it look good, and you feel like you’re just working on your own. At least it was a real team effort.”
Their characters meet at a bar, so they’re already buzzed. By the end of the night, they’re drunk, they smoke some pot and then they kiss.
“The first kiss for us in the movie was very sloppy,” Long said. “We were stoned and it was just so easy to do, we’re so comfortable. I think you just hope that you’re invested in the scene, hopefully, and sometimes it can be a surprise when you’ve never kissed anyone before you’ve just met recently, and people have different ways with kissing, and sometimes it can be very jarringly uncomfortable. There can be very little movement involved, and then a quick, sudden movement from the tongue that you don’t expect.”
